About this episode
It turns out that Chapter 1 of All About Love by bell hooks brings up more questions than it answers: what actually IS cathexis? Do you have to have cathexis before you have/practice love? Are we throwing around the word love too cavalierly?? Lots to unpack here, but don't worry, we come back to our favorite topic (Does size matter?) in our "Let's Make it a Threesome" segment!
